Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 13 December 2018
93. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when travel documents or stamp 4 are likely to issue in the case of persons (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [52656/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that, in response to a notification pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), written representations have been submitted on behalf of the persons concerned.
In terms of the question regarding a Temporary Travel Document, the applicant was issued a Temporary Travel Document on 13 December 2017 for a period of one year on a discretionary basis to facilitate travel outside the State. The applicant has a current application for renewal of their permission to remain in the State. The person concerned should await the outcome of their application for renewal of their permission to remain before any other steps would be taken. I am advised that a decision on that application will be made in the coming weeks.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from the INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
